Did you have any trouble with regard to the washing of your tea house at the beginning of the year?
- Yes.
Tell us about it? In the third moon I was told to cleanse the house.
Who told you? The inspector.
No. He said that the floor had to be cleansed every Saturday, and as it was very awkward to cleanse the floor in daytime I asked him if the cleansing could be carried on later, whereupon he abused and scolded.
Because this cleansing had given so much trouble and handicapped my business Ho Choy came and said how is it you clean your house on every Saturday, and I said yes it has to be cleaned every Saturday, and I said yes. Then I asked him if he had any plan to solve the problem and he said he would see.
I asked him what few days afterwards he said he could do it.
